You might be our missing piece if you have: - A degree in a technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering) or equivalent professional experience. - At least 2 years of experience as a Data Engineer or in a similar technical role. - Strong understanding of data engineering principles, including database design patterns and ETL processes. - Proficiency in Python or PySpark, with the ability to write clean, efficient, and reusable code for data processing and transformation. - Hands-on experience with Apache Airflow for orchestrating and managing data pipelines. - Experience working with large, diverse datasets and building scalable data solutions. - Proficiency in SQL and familiarity with both SQL and NoSQL database technologies. - Experience with AWS cloud services, using both the console and CLI. - Knowledge of infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, AWS CloudFormation). - Familiarity with DevOps practices, version control, and CI/CD pipelines. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail. - A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for mentoring and cross-team engagement. We would be thrilled if you have: - Experience implementing data governance and quality frameworks. - Exposure to event-driven or real-time data architectures (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis). - Familiarity with machine learning pipelines, predictive modeling, or NLP concepts. - Experience with data visualization tools such as Tableau or D3.js. - Knowledge of modern data stack tools (e.g., dbt, Snowflake, or Redshift). - A passion for continuous improvement, innovation, and driving best practices in data engineering. We will be working together on: - Designing, developing, and maintaining data pipelines that ensure reliability, scalability, and discoverability. - Replicating existing data pipeline patterns to support new initiatives and optimize performance. - Writing reusable data utilities using common data-centric libraries and frameworks. - Building and maintaining ETL workflows (Airflow) and troubleshooting data pipeline issues. - Executing database operations manually and through Data Definition Language (DDL) scripts. - Writing optimized SQL queries and advising on appropriate database solutions. - Operating within AWS environments, managing and integrating cloud services effectively. - Developing infrastructure-as-code scripts for consistent, scalable data environments. - Implementing automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end, contract) to maintain data reliability. - Collaborating with cross-functional teams to design and deliver solutions that meet both business and technical needs.

Contract details

Contract type Full-time employee

Pre-apply checklist

Quickly verify the listing has the essentials so you can compare offers fairly.

  • Is the salary gross or net, and what period is it for?
  • Is it employee (CIM) or contractor (B2B/PFA/SRL)?
  • What does “remote/hybrid” mean in practice (office days, overlap)?
  • Is the scope and seniority level clear?

Flag missing or inconsistent details so the listing stays accurate.

How to evaluate this job (beyond the title)

A strong application is not just “I know the stack”. It’s proof you can deliver outcomes in this specific context: team setup, constraints, seniority expectations, and the way success is measured. Use this checklist to decide whether to apply and what to highlight.

Clarify scope and expectations

Many ads are intentionally broad. Your job is to identify the core responsibilities and whether they match your strengths today.

  • Look for ownership signals: “design”, “architecture”, “lead”, “on-call”, “mentoring”.
  • Check if the role is feature delivery vs platform/infra vs maintenance.
  • If the description is short, use company size + industry + stack to infer the likely day-to-day.

Validate work setup and collaboration

Remote/hybrid/office labels are not enough. The real constraints are overlap hours, office days, and communication style.

  • Confirm whether “remote” is worldwide/EU/Romania-only and whether overlap hours are required.
  • For hybrid roles, ask how many days per week and whether they are fixed or flexible.
  • Check language requirements and cross-team dependencies (product, design, stakeholders).

Compare compensation realistically

To compare two offers, normalize everything to the same baseline and contract type. If salary is undisclosed, build a range based on market and validate early.

  • Normalize gross vs net and month vs year before you compare.
  • For B2B, account for taxes, accounting, unpaid time off, and risk.
  • Use market data as a sanity check, then negotiate with evidence (impact, scope, seniority).
